《红色航天》讲述了苏联太空竞赛的真实故事。在1957到1965年间，苏联取得了一个又一个太空计划的胜利，包括第一颗人造卫星，第一个在太空的生物，第一个到太空的人类，第一次太空行走。他们一直在对手美国人的前面，直到1969年美国抢先成功登月从而赢得太空竞赛。 这部影片讲述了早年的俄罗斯航天英雄们。他们那么多的人类第一次成功的背后都是哪些人？唯一的档案材料向我们揭示了那些勇敢和卓越毅力的宇航员们。在我们的眼中苏联太空探索是对还是错？现在苏联已经解体，让我们看看当年太空旅行的真实故事。 Between 1957 and 1965, the Russians had one success after another in their space program, including the first artificial satellite, the first space walk, and both the first living creature and first man in space. They were streets ahead of their archrivals--the Americans. But these successes were soon overshadowed in 1969, when the Americans became the first to set foot on the moon--and were hence deemed to have won the space race. The Red Stuff is a film about the first heroes of the cosmos from those early years of Russian space travel. Who were the people behind these first successes? Unique archival material reveals the bravery and the unsurpassed stamina of the cosmonauts. What is true and what is false in our view of Russian space exploration? How do those involved look back on their work and their enforced role in the Soviet political machine? Now that the military secrecy and national propaganda of the Soviet Union has crumbled, see the real story of the other side of the space race.
